PROGRAM
Thank you for participating in the Bringing Theory to Practice Second Annual Working
Conference.
The Bringing Theory to Practice Project is an academic response to the increase of alcohol and
drug abuse and the prevalence of certain forms of depression among college students. The
Project has both a research and action component, encouraging campus-based programs that can,
by calling upon the essential academic strengths of the academy, serve to address these persisting
issues. The Conference is designed to provide access to available research and to be supportive
of action programs developed on your campus.
A Planning Group (composed of scholars, educators, researchers, medical practitioners and
policy advocates) advises the Project which is sponsored by The Charles Engelhard Foundation
of New York and coordinated by the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
Welcome to the Conference.
CONFERENCE SPONSOR
The Charles Engelhard Foundation is a New York-based foundation whose mission focuses

Recovery @Rutgers: A Student Initiative in Substance Free Living
Recovery Housing is an on-campus housing option at Rutgers University. Though
administered by the alcohol/drug-counseling program, it has been a successful because
as students in recovery we have helped to create a safe and supportive community in
which to live removed from the usual partying that occurs in regular residence halls,
which are so much more difficult in our situation. In this session we will share how our
house operates, its structure and the role it plays in our lives.

"Student Lead Service Projects - Where Do I Begin?"
Housing, Rutgers the
Student lead service projects are excellent vehicles for lending support in the
community. Although they often differ in scope and outcomes, all projects depend on
financial support. Please join us as we present you our experience as a student group
from the University of Southern Indiana. We will show you how we worked our way
through the labyrinth of funding methods and options to achieve our goal of providing
flowers and plants for the entry ways of two local housing projects. You will be with us,
step by step, in our journey, searching for the most suitable funding opportunities
possible. Together, we will locate the appropriate Student Community Service MiniGrant. We will share our experiences obtaining matching funds for this project.
Ultimately, we hope to provide you with the confidence and the tools necessary to equip
you to complete a student lead service project of your own.

Grant Opportunities
BTtoP seeks to advance engaged student learning and determine how it might improve
the quality of student’s education, development, health, and commitment to civic
engagement. One way that we support this advancement is through funding programs
and projects that engage students in areas of mental health, substance abuse, and civic
engagement. In this presentation, we will detail the work of the Project and share what
new funding opportunities are available to students and universities .

Join in this opportunity to explore the benchmarks and challenges for advancing student
learning in civic engagement projects throughout the undergraduate curriculum.
Gateways into International Civic Identities
In order to prepare our students for the increasingly global work environment they will
encounter after graduation, we need to help them expand their identities beyond local
and national borders. Given the importance of cultural histories, cognitive, emotional,
and perceptual habits, what practices would aid this process of change and lead to
global civic engagement? A short comparative study of cultural values held by Chinese
and American students will initiate the discussion.
Carolyn E. Hill, Professor of English and Cultural Studies, Towson University
Civic Engagement and Students of Color: The Role of the University
This roundtable discussion will focus on the role of the university in improving civic
engagement among African American students. It will focus on a case study of the
work of the Civic Engagement Taskforce (CETF) at North Carolina Central University.
CETF spearheaded student education and mobilization that resulted in 80% turnout of
students in the 2004 general election and worked with other community organizations
involved in civic engagement
Jarvis A. Hall, Advisor, Civic Engagement Task Force, North Carolina Campus
Compact; and Rosa S. Anderson, Director, Academic Community Service Learning
Program, North Carolina Central University
Civic Engagement in the Mathematical Sciences
What are the specific mathematical knowledge areas necessary for an educated
citizenry? How can these essential topics be taught to engage the students and meet the
standards of the faculty? Participants will discuss how the ideals of civic engagement
connect and conflict with the goals of teaching mathematics. The facilitators will help
find ways to overcome the obstacles of revitalizing our mathematics courses to increase
student understanding of mathematics while furthering the public good.
Brian Birgen, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, and Mariah Birgen, Scholars
Program Director and Associate Professor of Mathematics, Wartburg College
The Role and Influence of the Resident Assistant in Civic Engagement
Resistant Assistants (RAs) have traditionally served as problem solvers and service
providers in a customer satisfaction approach to residential life. Increasingly,
institutions are shifting emphasis for governance and problem solving onto residents,
leaving many RAs unsure where they fit in the community. What is the role of RAs in
civic engagement? What are the challenges that administrators face as they change the
role of the RA to meet changing campus needs?
Jennifer R. Adams, Assistant Dean of the College, and Timothy Mansfield, Director of
Residential Life, Colgate University
The Power of Engagement: An International Model in Online Service-learning
The facilitators will initiate conversation by presenting the process and the results of a
service-learning module taught internationally via the internet from two different
academic institutions, University of the Free State (UFS) in South Africa and the
University Without Walls (UWW), Skidmore College, United States. Acknowledging
the changing face of higher education, as well as the increasing demands of global
connectivity, the facilitators developed a combination of pedagogical techniques
(service and web-based learning, as well as multidisciplinary team teaching) to engage
students in collaboration for international service-learning. The discussion will explore
the lessons learned for international service-learning collaboration.
Luzelle Naudé, Coordinator of Service-learning Courses, Faculty Member of the
Department of Psychology and School of Management, University of the Free State,

The Role of Service-learning Offices in Promoting Civic Engagement: Possibilities
and Pitfalls
As campuses explore ways to address the civic engagement imperative, they often turn
to service-learning as a key strategy and to service-learning offices as central to its
implementation. How can service-learning offices best support efforts to foster civic
engagement? In the California State University system, service-learning directors have
grappled with this critical question through a year long working group. This discussion
will explore the outcomes of their discussions and the pros and cons of diverse campus
approaches.
Season Eckardt, Administrative Director of Community Service-learning, California
State University, Office of the Chancellor; and Debra David, Director of the Center for
Service-learning, San José State University
Cross-Divisional Collaboration for Enhancing Service-learning
This discussion will address models of formal cross-divisional collaboration between
academic and student affairs that have facilitated effective student engagement in the
community, initiated from both within and outside the classroom. Participants will
explore definitions of service-learning, the challenges and benefits of collaboration, and
activities that have promoted students’ synthesis of community experiences with course
work. Participants will be encouraged to think about how they can take advantage of
their current institutional structure and resources to benefit service-learning.
Gretchen Carlson Natter, Acting Director, Center for Public Service, Gettysburg
College; Meta Mendel-Reyes, Director, Center for Excellence in Learning through
Service and Associate Professor of General Studies, Berea College; and Julia L. Reed,
Director, Office of Service-learning and Community Action, University of San
Francisco
Service-learning to Civic Engagement: A Developmental, Faith-based Model
This discussion will provide a rationale for a model of service-learning within a faithbased context. Presenters will discuss the importance of using a developmental
approach in relationship to the literature and to practice. Justification for considering
secular and faith-based service-learning as differently motivated will be presented for
discussion. Examples will be provided.
Rhonda A. Waskiewicz, Associate Dean, and William G. Wallick, Associate Professor,
Human Resources Studies, University of Scranton
Bridging the Gaps: Focusing Campus Efforts on Civic Engagement
How might constituents from across the campus come together to educate for civic
engagement? This discussion will provide a student development model through
curricular and co-curricular programs (at the college and abroad). Participants will
consider ways to guide students from the realm of social awareness and concern to
community service and action and then into the realm of social justice and civic
engagement. While sharing the successes and challenges of our own work, participants
might create and share holistic, cross-divisional plans for student development around
civic engagement initiatives relative to their own campuses.
Susan M. Mooney, Dean of General Education, Nuala S. Boyle, Director of Community
Service and Volunteerism, Rebecca Williamson, Director of Student Activities, and
Brian Jenkins, class of 2006, Stonehill College
Academic Affairs and Student Affairs: Strategies for Inter-divisional Cooperation
The Department of Political Science and the Leadership Center (part of Student Affairs)
at Texas Christian University recently collaborated to create the Center for Civic
Literacy to further experiential civics education. The Center has developed a series of
classes that offer students academic credit for participation in active learning
opportunities. Participants will hear the strategies used to further inter-divisional
cooperation and discuss how these strategies might generate ideas for their own campus
initiatives.

Community-based Programs for Youth Development
Join in this conversation to learn how one institution has developed a unique and
effective model of university engagement with communities to address high rates of
public school dropouts. The University of Puerto Rico professors and students, together
with educational practitioners initiated a collaborative inquiry and research project to
attend to dropout students, shifting its emphasis from deterrence to development. These
efforts have produced an effective community-based program in which students’
competencies, self-esteem, family and peer relationships, and character are developed
and enhanced.
Rafael L. Irizarry, Professor of Planning, University of Puerto Rico-Central
Administration; and Ana H. Quintero, Professor of Mathematics, University of Puerto
Rico
Progressive University - Public School Partnerships: Promoting Civic Learning
This discussion will focus on university - high school partnerships to promote civic
education and engagement by both high school students and undergraduates. The
facilitators will share their experiences with developing a cluster
of civic engagement activities in the areas of student government, policy debate, and
model legislature to initiate conversation.
Mackay Miller, Assistant Director - Youth Programs, Swearer Center for Public
Service, Brown University; Jonny Skye-Njie, Youth Development Facilitator,
Providence School Department; and Tony Cosentino, History and Sociology Teacher

On Being Politically Effective in a Democracy: Assessing Students’ Conceptions
and Complexity of Thought
What do college students believe it takes to be politically effective in a democracy?
How conceptually complex is their thinking about political effectiveness? Do courses
and programs specifically designed to promote civic and political engagement actually
affect students’ conceptions of and complexity of thought related to political
effectiveness? This discussion will address these questions and describe the thematic
and developmental coding schemes used to assess undergraduates’ thinking about the
meaning of political effectiveness.
Jason M. Stephens, Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology, University of
Connecticut
Creating Connections for Student Success: Excellence through Engagement
This session will review a case study of how an urban land grant university has begun
the implementation of civic engagement, based on research and best practices, as a key
component of an overall university plan for student retention. The study will review the
processes used to institutionalize civic engagement through community-based learning
and to foster the commitment of the President, Provost, faculty, students, staff and
administrators.
